Creating Rule Package With Dropdown of Texture Options

Kayleigh_T — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 15:11:10 GMT

I am attempting to create a rule package that contains a variety of textures that will be selectable in a dropdown list under the inspector tab using an ESRI texture package for signs. I am able to add the texture names under the Enum function, however, I am unsure where I would insert the texture link within the code that the Enum would draw from. The code I have is attached in the screenshots below. I am relatively new to CityEngine and CGA so any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Kayleigh_T ,

See the snippet below for a minimal solution. Instead of storing the list of textures as const array you could also read from a CSV file with the same structure. In the RPK creation dialog you then need to make sure everything is included under "Additional Files".

@Enum (valuesAttr = textureNames) attr selectedTexture = textureNames[0] @Hidden attr textureNames = textureArray[[0:2:size(textureArray)-1]] const texturePath = "/ESRI.lib/assets/Fences/Textures/" // for many texture consider reading from a CSV const textureArray = [ "brick", "brick_01.jpg"; "brick2", "brick_03.jpg"; "stone", "stone_01.jpg" ] @StartRule Lot --> primitiveCube() texture(texturePath+textureArray[findFirst(textureArray, selectedTexture)+1])

Hope this helps,

Cheers
Jonas
